The latest AI news and updates of n8n — Open-source workflow automation platform with AI agent capabilities, RAG pipelines, and extensive integrations. Covering n8n's latest product updates, company news, and launches from the past 90 days.
n8nOct 23At Microsoft's Frontier Tour Cologne, Satya Nadella stated that n8n deploys 50 million agentic workflows on Foundry and Microsoft IQ each month. n8n confirmed its attendance at Microsoft Ignite in San Francisco from November 17–19, where it will be located at booth 5344R.
n8nOct 6n8n released Automation Mining, a free agent skill that scans work activity to identify recurring manual tasks. The skill returns up to five automation proposals backed by source evidence, using a method based on 900k+ n8n workflows that achieved 52% task recall on simulated companies. It runs inside Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, and other Agent Skills hosts.
n8nOct 1n8n added TypeSafe AI's Jev model as a native node for branching and sorting workflow items. Jev functions as a decision engine, returning a choice and confidence score based on unstructured input rather than generating text. The node is free on n8n Cloud via Gateway credits until October 10, while self-hosted instances require a personal API key.
n8nSep 28n8n launched Agents, a new platform feature that autonomously plans and executes steps based on natural language goals, models, and tools. Agents integrate with Slack, Telegram, and other channels, and can call workflows as tools. The feature is currently in preview on n8n Cloud and self-hosted instances.
n8nSep 17n8n Cloud now offers Gateway credits, a shared prepaid balance for accessing supported AI models and tool services. This feature eliminates the need to create individual provider accounts, generate API keys, or manage separate billing for services like OpenAI, Anthropic, Brave Search, and Firecrawl. Eligible accounts receive an initial balance to begin running workflows immediately.
n8nSep 16n8n released a guide on implementing AI audit trails to ensure production workflow accountability. The framework captures execution data across four layers: workflow, data access, model invocation, and tool integration. By logging these events, teams can reconstruct AI decisions and satisfy compliance requirements for high-stakes automated actions.
n8nSep 10n8n launched n8n Assistant, a chat-based agent that plans, builds, and debugs workflows from natural language descriptions. The tool generates editable workflows on the canvas, with credential access and activation gated by user confirmation. It is available in Preview for Cloud and self-hosted instances, with usage metered against AI credits separate from the previous AI Workflow Builder.
n8nAug 25n8n released a Verified Node Spotlight for the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore node, providing a managed agent runtime where memory, code execution, and browsing run in the user's own AWS account. The node self-provisions on the first run. A new template demonstrates a multi-agent support triage system that shares per-customer memory across specialist agents without requiring external vector stores.
n8nAug 25n8n now functions as an agent harness, treating AI agents as standalone objects rather than workflow nodes. The update introduces native chat, reusable skills, sub-agents with effort-based routing, episodic memory, and plain-text scheduling. Agents also gain a new MCP library for tool access. The feature is in Preview, with self-hosted instances requiring environment variables and cloud users receiving staged rollouts.
n8nAug 14n8n now supports one-click OAuth connections for 70 MCP servers directly from the Node panel. This update removes the need for manual API configuration and admin permissions. New additions to the catalog include Airtable, Miro, Grafana, New Relic, Jotform, and PandaDoc, providing agents with immediate access to these services upon sign-in.
